P201
P202
P280
P405
P501
[Rationale for the Classification]
Based on (1), effects observed in fetuses at a dose at which no maternal toxicity was observed were mild, and effects on fetuses at a dose at which maternal toxicity was observed were not determined to be malformations either. However, since the post-implantation loss increased, and many variations, etc. were observed, it was classified in Category 2. Based on a new information source, the classification result was changed from the previous classification.

[Evidence Data]
(1) In a developmental toxicity study with female rats dosed by gavage on days 6 to 15 of gestation, at a dose (25 mg/kg/day) at which no maternal toxicity was observed, the incidence of the 14th rib increased in fetuses, and at a dose (250 mg/kg/day) at which maternal toxicity (sacrifice in extremis (1 animal which showed the sign of abnormal delivery), reduced body weight gain, a decrease in food consumption, and stained fur) was observed, an increase in post-implantation loss due to late embryo deaths was observed, and in fetuses, low body weight, moderate dilatation and meandering of the unilateral ureter, partial ossification of the cervical rib and 4th and 6th sternebrae, unossified 1st cervical vertebra, partial ossification of the 7th cervical vertebral transverse processes of both sides, partial ossification of the 7th cervical vertebral transverse process of one side, and delayed ossification of the forelimbs and hindlimbs were observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2015)).

[Reference Data, etc.]
(2) In a two-generation reproductive study with rats dosed by feeding, in parent animals, reduced body weight gain, a decrease in food consumption, increases in absolute and corrected liver weight, hepatocyte vacuolation, fatty changes of hepatocytes, etc. were observed in males and females of a group treated at 1,000 ppm; and in offspring, reduced body weight gain, hepatocyte vacuolation, and fatty changes of hepatocytes were observed in males and females of a group treated at the same dose. No effect on fertility was observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2015)).
(3) In a developmental toxicity study with female rabbits dosed by gavage on days 6 to 19 of gestation, low fetal weight was observed at a dose (25 mg/kg/day) at which no maternal toxicity was observed; and an increase in the incidence of the 13th lib and 27 vertebrae before the sacral vertebra was observed in fetuses at a dose (100 mg/kg/day) at which maternal toxicity (low body weight, reduced body weight gain, and a decrease in food consumption) was observed. No teratogenicity was observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2015)).
